Biography

Sibyl Roe’s songs resonate with the universal themes of unrequited love, loss, addiction and the awakening of ones true self.

Rising and falling through the tracks of their songs is the sweetly vulnerable voice of lead singer Fiona Bates. Her artistic angst vaults Sibyl Roe “out of the box” of the current music scene, sending shivers through the spines of the bands growing fan base.

Fiona dove into LA’s music scene singing back up at the ROXY while, at the same time, starring in another band known as Longshot. It was during that time Fiona began to unlock her songwriting abilities.

Soon after leaving Longshot, Fiona met up with ‘Porno for Pyros’s’ Peter DiStefano, who in turn invited her to open a few shows for him as well as offering to produce her first 3-song EP. Fiona then met Mike Bishop (lead guitarist), a NYC native, who had just moved to Los Angeles after circuiting Manhattan with different bands and playing with some of the worlds most renown touring and studio musicians; (Al Pitrell – (Alice Cooper), Mark Ambrosino - (Ray Charles, Perry Ferrel), Dave Chalfant - (The Neilds), Stanley Clark - (Aretha Frankllin, John Lennon) & Brian Miller.)Together the two formed Sibyl Roe, along with Adam Levy on bass and Tim “Slim” on drums, and began playing around LA’s local venues (The Gig, The Joint, 14 Below, Molly Malone’s, & Room 5) as well as New York City’s Desmond’s Tavern & Kenny’s Castaway.

Sibyl Roe’s fan base has been rapidly spreading from coast to coast as well as internationally! All have been eagerly awaiting the release of their new 5 song EP.

This EP is the band's impressive debut. Produced by Mike Bishop and mixed by David Lawrence, (Reeves Gabrel’s, “Ulysses Della Notte” (w/ David Bowie & Robert Smith), Pat Martino "All Sides Now" (w/ Cassandra Wilson, Kevin Eubanks, Michael Hedges, Les Paul, Mike Stern, Joe Satriani) this 5-song taste of what is yet to come was tracked on the highest quality vintage gear giving it that old school tone real music lovers can truly appreciate.

Say’s Fiona, “To me it’s all about connecting on an emotional level. Music is the perfect medium to slip past people’s fronts and get into the places that really matter…”
